Uh and you can sometimes even win some of these matchups against some of these mages. Again, mana boots being nerfed and armor boots being very strong now, armor pen boots, I should say, being very strong now means that Jayce can get a, you know, stronger early lead against some of these mages early on. Then mid lane also pretty solid.
